Back then, everyone said that Xu Jiaqi was blessed beyond measure to have caught the eye of Gu Bianchen.
But no one expected that, in the end, Xu Jiaqi would be the one to leave Gu Bianchen.
She left without a word and vanished without a trace.
Gu Bianchen searched the entire campus like a madman, but still couldn’t find the heartless girl who had walked away.
Six years later, Gu Bianchen had become a hugely popular star on screen.
Yet Xu Jiaqi had never once come to see him.
Then one day, at a cast dinner, he caught sight of an old acquaintance in the restaurant lobby.
Before the wave of joy could wash over him, he heard her say gently, smiling at the impeccably dressed man across from her:
“Since you’re technically the person I’m pursuing right now, dinner’s on me today.”
In an instant, jealousy swallowed his reason.
*
Knowing full well that she already belonged to someone else, Gu Bianchen forced down his revulsion and chose to become the other man in the name of love, torn between winning her back and letting her go.
He pinned her to the disheveled sofa. He had meant to punish her, but her tears as she fell apart shattered his reason. He felt guilty and tormented, yet found himself even less able to stop.
He crushed his own pride and became Xu Jiaqi’s secret lover, hidden from the world.
He thought he could ignore everything, believing that as long as he stayed by Xu Jiaqi’s side, she would eventually come around.
Until one day, he watched with his own eyes as the man she called her official boyfriend pinned her to a sink in an aggressively intimate pose.
All reason abandoned.
Though he had warned himself countless times to remember his place, just as their lips were about to meet, he still rushed forward.
Under Xu Jiaqi’s shocked and panicked gaze, their secret relationship was exposed.
But all he felt was exhilaration.
He no longer hid his darkness. At last, he laid his darkest side bare before her.
His mask had slipped halfway off.
He made the most vicious vow, surrendering to the desire in his heart and choosing to fall into depravity, even if it meant becoming a monster.
In return, he wanted all of her, body and soul, by any means necessary.

#He Almost Became the Other Man for Love#
[Reading Notes]
1. The heroine has always loved the hero and has only ever loved him. The heroine wants it, the heroine gets it!
2. The hero is good at convincing himself of things. He pretends to be crazy, but he really is crazy. His obsession stems from having been abandoned, but he loves her so much, so don’t worry~
3. One-on-one romance, both leads have only ever been with each other. There’s more to the heroine’s “person she’s pursuing” mentioned in the blurb. The heroine has only ever loved the hero, and the hero feels the same. No behavior that violates moral values.
4. Neither lead is perfect. Celebrity x civilian, not based on real people. Please don’t make assumptions.
